COLOMBIA NO LONGER REQUIRES A COVID-19 TEST FOR VISITORS!!


The Colombian Government has announced that as of now negative COVID-19 tests will no longer be required to enter the country. The only requirements are to fill out the 'Check-Mig' form and to have no fever or respiratory symptoms associated to COVID-19 prior to the departure. Additionally, travellers will be monitored upon arrival by their insurance company, as part of the Ministry of Health's Testing, Tracking and Sustainable Selective Isolationstrategy (PRASS).


WHAT ABOUT COVID-19 CASES?


Currently in Colombia there are 71,357 active cases, which represents approximately 0.14% of the total population, and in Cartagena there are less than 400 active cases.


Nonetheless, in Colombia we continue to rigorously implement biosafety measures to prevent the spread of the virus.
